Compliance Plus, Inc.

I am a Registered Nurse, certified MDS Coordinator, and President of Compliance Plus, Inc. I have over twenty-five years of experience in long-term care, with over ten years experience with the MDS process; I have maintained my MDS certification since 2004, credentialed through The American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators. (AANAC)As an experienced MDS Coordinator, I know first hand how difficult it is to keep up with and maintain compliance with the MDS process. Especially with all the changes CMS has implemented in the past year. Skilled Nursing facilities not only require a strong, knowledgeable MDS coordinator for their financial health, they need well-educated ancillary staff that understands the MDS coding, how it works, and how to document to back up their billing claims. Imagine how disastrous it would be if your MDS Coordinator is out for an extended leave of absence, or if your facility is without a coordinator. Finding a qualified replacement can take what seems like forever and, the financial impact can be devastating. Compliance Plus, Inc. is here to help during your time of need. Compliance Plus, Inc. can provide long or short term Certified MDS Coordinators. We provide consultant services to evaluate the accuracy of your PPS and OBRA assessments. Compliance Plus, Inc. will assist your MDS Coordinator to create systems to maintain compliance. Compliance Plus Inc. will provide educational services tailored to your needs. Education that teaches your team how the specific MDS area(s) they influence, impacts quality indicators and, the facility financially. The MDS does not stand-alone. Medicare and Medicaid documentation education is as important as the MDS.
